Django 1.11.1 release notes
===========================

*May 6, 2017*

Django 1.11.1 adds a minor feature and fixes several bugs in 1.11.

Allowed disabling server-side cursors on PostgreSQL
===================================================

The change in Django 1.11 to make :meth:`.QuerySet.iterator()` use server-side
cursors on PostgreSQL prevents running Django with pgBouncer in transaction
pooling mode. To reallow that, use the :setting:`DISABLE_SERVER_SIDE_CURSORS
<DATABASE-DISABLE_SERVER_SIDE_CURSORS>` setting in :setting:`DATABASES`.

See :ref:`transaction-pooling-server-side-cursors` for more discussion.

Bugfixes
========

* Made migrations respect ``Index``’s ``name`` argument. If you created a
  named index with Django 1.11, ``makemigrations`` will create a migration to
  recreate the index with the correct name (:ticket:`28051`).

* Fixed a crash when using a ``__icontains`` lookup on a ``ArrayField``
  (:ticket:`28038`).

* Fixed a crash when using a two-tuple in ``EmailMessage``’s ``attachments``
  argument (:ticket:`28042`).

* Fixed ``QuerySet.filter()`` crash when it references the name of a
  ``OneToOneField`` primary key (:ticket:`28047`).

* Fixed empty POST data table appearing instead of "No POST data" in HTML debug
  page (:ticket:`28079`).

  ``es_MX``, and ``pt`` translations (:ticket:`28100`).

* Restored the output of the ``class`` attribute in the ``<ul>`` of widgets
  that use the ``multiple_input.html`` template. This fixes
  ``ModelAdmin.radio_fields`` with ``admin.HORIZONTAL`` (:ticket:`28059`).

* Fixed crash in ``BaseGeometryWidget.subwidgets()`` (:ticket:`28039`).

  fails and the subsequent ``cursor.close()`` also fails (:ticket:`28091`).

* Fixed a regression where ``CheckboxSelectMultiple``, ``NullBooleanSelect``,
  ``RadioSelect``, ``SelectMultiple``, and ``Select`` localized option values

* Fixed a regression in formset ``min_num`` validation with unchanged forms
  that have initial data (:ticket:`28130`).

* Prepared for ``cx_Oracle`` 6.0 support (:ticket:`28138`).

* Updated the ``contrib.postgres`` ``SplitArrayWidget`` to use template-based
  widget rendering (:ticket:`28040`).

  ``attrs`` (:ticket:`28105`).

* Prevented ``AddIndex`` and ``RemoveIndex`` from mutating model state
  (:ticket:`28043`).

  when changing ``Field.db_index`` to ``False`` (:ticket:`28052`).

* Fixed a regression in choice ordering in form fields with grouped and
  non-grouped options (:ticket:`28157`).

* Fixed crash in  ``BaseInlineFormSet._construct_form()`` when using
  ``save_as_new`` (:ticket:`28159`).

* Fixed a regression where ``Model._state.db`` wasn't set correctly on
  multi-table inheritance parent models after saving a child model
  (:ticket:`28166`).

* Corrected the return type of ``ArrayField(CITextField())`` values retrieved

  using the foreign key's parent model as the lookup value (:ticket:`28175`).
